[INSANE IMPORT]

HEY GUYS LOOKS LIKE I NEED NEW PISTONS AND RODS. QUESTION IS WITH OUT BORING ANYTHING, SHOULD I GOT OEM OR TYPE-S PISTONS? WHICH RODS? i APPRECIATE ANY HELP

[NAiL05]

Why dont you just go aftermarket...Type S will fit but thats the cheap way to do it.

i think exactly like this, oem is good! 315000km on mine

Aftermarket might be better, but not everyone has the money to go get some. If your on a budget, and aftermarket is too expensive the Type-S pistons will be fine, and still better than your stock ones. I would do it also if the car is just a daily driver and not the track car. BTW what engine are you going to swap them into? Good luck with the new pistons.

11.0:1 Compression requires good gas...but since your already running the h22a I would think you know that already.

Thanks Guys! Yeah Running The Good Gas. I Dont Do The Track Thing, Going To Be Going Towards The Show Look.

you might want to think about retuning for higher compression while you are at it

DECIDED TO GO ALL TYPE S COSTING ABOUT $1700. THANSK FOR THE HELP, ANYONE KNOW WHER I CAN GET MY ECU CHIPPED, h22A WITH TYPE S INTERNALS /AUTO?

You'll want a custom tune. Get a P28 ECU from a 92-95 Civic EX/Si. Take your car to a shop with a dyno and an experienced tuner... and pay. Have it done right, and you'll have an efficient, powerful car.

I had MRX tune my P28, and my car has neve been more efficient. I still need to make a couple adjustments (we didn't use a dyno, we were fairly rushed, and my car was only equipped with a few of the necessary things) but his work was outstanding.
Another option is to contact him and see what you can do. I know at one time he was willing to do a long distance tune... basically, you get the equipment, you do the datalogging, send the files to him, and he interprets and adjusts it. I don't know if he'd be willing or not though... but it's worth asking!



Off topic: I see in your sig that you're going with Stage 3 Crower cams (camshafts... not cams and shaft... the cams ARE the shafts). Stage 3 will be irritating as hell to drive if you're not going race... I don't know if you get crazy points for wild cams at a show, but if not, I would suggest Stage 1... or the Stage 2 hybrid model (where the small lobes are mild, and the VTEC lobes are wild... you lose some middle, but the car is MUCH nicer to drive on a daily basis!)

Also, don't bother tuning your ECU until you get those cams... they will change everything!

Thanks For The Help, Any Reccomendations On The Cam/shaft? How About Header? Thinking Trust, Greddy ,?

[deevergote]

I recommended camshafts already. Crower Stage 1 or the Stage 2 with the smaller primary lobes. Call Crower and tell them what you're looking for. They can work with you. Skunk2 is always good as well, or JUN if you have money. Don't just go for the biggest cam you can find... a Stage 3 camshaft is a full race cam in most cases. Gas mileage will be horrible, idle will be lumpy, and low end power will be nonexistant. Unless you feel like driving around town at 6000rpm, your car will suck with big cams. If it's JUST a show or project car, then yeah, go for it... but not if you plan on driving it regularly.

The JDM H22 header is actually quite good. Anything with a 2" collector will give you NO gains, so don't bother unless you want the bling factor. If you want to make some more power, and don't mind spending money, look into RMF. Call them, give them your specs, and they can design a header based on your engine. It's one of the best you can get.
